Rear winch set up

[BOZ]

Does anyone have a winch on the rear bumper. I am looking for some pics of what others ma have done.

I have a warn on the front and use it often. I am generaly pulling others out of the snow. My concern is that when I go nose first into a ditch, I will be able to pull myself out.

Anyone have this set up.

Have seen them on someone's rig on the forum but don't remember whos it was. Try doing a search in 80 and hardcore. THe one I saw was on a 100 turned into a pickup. He had it mounted under the bumper IIRC. Very well done.

BTW, I also saw one yesterday on a Chevy pickup that mounted into the 2X2 receiver, and was convertable from front to rear. Very nice.

Forum member "Junk" had a rear winch before he took his truck back to stock.

EDIT: try these, tons of info

He was gone on an exclusive three year tour of Europe, Scandanavia and the subcontinents and has now returned.

He's got a 45 to keep him busy now, I think.

I have always thought an integrated rear winch would be killer. One of my roommates in collge had a big K5 blazer. He had his winch on a reciever hitch so he could mount it on the front or rear, or just take it off and put it in the truck.

When I bought my 80 I was in too much of a hurry to build (buy/build really). Only realized this after wheeling my stock 45. The 45 has gone through some modifications but will remain close to stock and will be the vehicle that I continue to learn more on by doing more myself, by driving a closer to stock vehicle will make me a better driver, and my 5 yr old son has some skin in the game for helping me improve the truck. Win/win/win

As you can see in the pics it's got a long way to go and will never be "restored", but it runs great and is a heck of a lot of fun driving.

Search the Outfitting section for the Foers winch system.

Lance has such a serious working look in that one pic.

Nice photos Mike.

I like the 45 better though.

I've got junk's old junk....

Here is a pic i had handy of where and how the winch mounts. probably not a huge help but you get the idea.

**Clearly i'm still saving for a winch to throw in there**

Photoman also has a rear winch.

I had that set-up in the past, and it's great. One winch for both ends.

I've actually got some fairly detailed shots of Photoman rear bumper. if i can dig them up i'll see if i can post them.

Junks set up looks nice. I was wondering what kind of winch would fit in the bumper. The x-9 looks great in the build up pics. I also like the step plates on the side of the bumper, I may add those in as well.

I will plan one out for the summer install. I have seen the reciever set up but that means more crap to carry around and would prefer a permanant mod.

Thanks for the pics guys.

If you shop around and look at other winches similar to the X9 you'll notice that i believe the X9 is one of the shortest ones you can buy.

That is one of the most limiting factors i have found in other types, some will fit but it seems tight. A 1 inch body lift would alone me to fit a whole assortment of winches on the back.

Right now i'd like to wait and do that, then throw a Warn m8000 or 9.5 in there and be finished.

Nice truck Junk, I am contemplating on importing a 4dr type FJ45 truck.
